00:01:43.980
with on everything but on this i absolutely agree march for israel tomorrow at the national mall
00:01:51.440
in washington dc we have rob on rob schneider is uh with us now he just turned 60 hey old man how are
00:01:59.360
you i don't know how that happened am i have to join that aarp i know i think you got till 65 i i think
00:02:06.720
i don't know uh i'm only 59 so um oh wow yeah wow so i'm i'm not old like you yet all right junior
00:02:16.340
okay uh so um rob you wrote a great article um about your journey into 60 and your advice at 60 but you
00:02:27.300
also talk about you've you've become a practicing catholic you've you've were you christian your whole
00:02:36.240
life and just never practicing or what's your story yeah i i was kind of going through life
00:02:41.000
slugging along ignoring god and uh pretending like uh there was uh like you know i kind of like the
00:02:48.340
atheist mistake of theirs um and you know they're my friends atheists but they make the mistake of
00:02:54.160
thinking like this whole universe is just this gigantic uh thing expanding and bumping into stuff
00:03:00.640
and uh that's meaningless and just and that we are some accidental freak of intelligence that just
00:03:06.800
happened and and it'll all go away and and i just think that you know if um as my buddy norm mcdonald
00:03:13.160
said you know we're not a we're we're we're a small fraction of the universe so if there is such a
00:03:18.440
thing as compassion love and uh and empathy then it must be endemic to this whole whole thing that we
00:03:25.520
exist in and um and and i i i think um you know the the little voice of uh jesus christ was uh was
00:03:34.040
never was always coming back to me even though i was going away from him and then finally i think
00:03:40.020
during all this and um kind of more obvious i don't know how else to say it but more obvious evil
00:03:46.740
in the world and uh uh i think it kind of uh it gave me a you know i kind of got back to it that
00:03:56.800
way because if there is this really organized evil in the world and and i don't think it's at all more
00:04:02.620
powerful but i do think it's it's here to to challenge us as of individually as a family as a
00:04:09.820
community and i think also as as you and i you know have come to really understand now as a nation
00:04:15.640
yeah that uh i think we um you know uh are you coming to god and realizing that um as the as father
00:04:23.900
ripperger said the and then the and i don't have the thing some people are having a question about
00:04:29.200
christianity is is in jesus whatever form it is i just for me catholicism works because sure it's the
00:04:36.460
closest to the word it's the closest to the actual word of jesus through um through the greek and latin
00:04:43.520
and and that's why that's uh it works for me so but um you know i saw an article about this uh in let
00:04:50.240
me look it was i think it was christianity today no christianpost.com uh and it uh it talked about
00:04:58.580
how you're you know you're you're you have failed in the past to show christ's forgiveness to those who
00:05:05.800
you disagree with um and it's really beautiful stuff that you've said about forgiving people etc etc
00:05:11.660
but then it goes into yeah but he's repeatedly weighed in on lgbtq uh related issues on his x account
00:05:22.340
um he was talking about the uh the female athlete getting spiked in the face by a male
00:05:29.520
competing with the women and he wrote this has got to stop if parents coaches and women athletes all
00:05:35.780
refuse to play against these men it all stops and then he was on the glenn beck program and he talked
00:05:42.180
about gender mutilation um and so they're trying to say that see you really haven't changed because
00:05:49.280
you're not forgiving of those things well that that's a difference between christ doesn't want us to
00:05:55.700
to just uh stand down and accept evil and forgive evil and let it to perpetuate christ wants us to
00:06:03.480
stand up against it you don't want to just you have to knock you know christ knocked over the the
00:06:10.000
the merchants that were no longer practicing uh at the temple because he and and showed a righteous
00:06:17.240
anger we have to protect the most vulnerable the members of our society our children now there's
00:06:23.680
this weird justification that it seems to be okay for women now to suddenly uh in for the quote
00:06:31.580
progress they need to take a back seat to other men and that's what these people are they're men
00:06:36.940
they're not women in any way shape or form and there's there's this strange societal narcissism
00:06:44.220
that is somehow accepted and in some ways is is i think is an attack on women which is an attack on
00:06:51.820
god and i think we need to stand up and protect them and and it's just a um there is evil that can
00:06:59.220
perpetuate and you know it's wrong and the people know it's wrong and i'm glad that uh that the female
00:07:05.180
athletes like riley gains are are actually talking and stepping up and my wife actually corrected me
00:07:12.500
because i said why don't the student why don't the student athletes and these women step up these you
00:07:18.800
know who are these swim teams or basketball teams or whatever or volleyball teams step up and say
00:07:23.620
something and she said they do but people aren't listening to them because people don't listen to
00:07:29.040
women and i said wow i mean i think i think she's right i i will tell you that um there's a great
00:07:36.760
misunderstanding on uh speaking the truth that's all that christ spoke was the truth and sometimes
00:07:44.720
people don't like it oh well it doesn't mean i stopped loving you um because you're my brother or
00:07:52.720
sister and i hope that you know some at some point truth corrects you and you come on the side of
00:07:59.920
truth but uh i don't hate you and uh i don't that's why i don't take it out i try not to take it out on
00:08:08.320
you it's really hard it's really hard it is hard it is hard and it's supposed to be hard and it's
00:08:14.960
supposed to be difficult but we have to we have to try to um we have to trust that that righteous
00:08:23.360
instinct and it's there to challenge us but we cannot be silent and we cannot uh we cannot stand
00:08:30.960
down when you know the especially the most vulnerable members of our society are now under
00:08:36.540
attack and i and i think it's you know the the lbgt lbgtq community that were it wasn't that's not
00:08:43.980
the whole community but the community that is pushing this uh knowingly knows it's wrong because
00:08:49.360
they went to a group of attorneys and they got advice about how to do this and they said don't do
00:08:56.200
it with any publicity as far as you know the um gender issues and the gender uh what they call
00:09:02.900
protections and it's interesting because they just rename protections for something that is the
00:09:07.480
opposite of it which is mutilation because you have like if these and it's i just tell people who
00:09:12.720
who because they use our goodwill against us which is inherently evil but if these children uh can't vote
00:09:22.500
we don't allow them to drive we don't allow them to own a gun we don't allow them to um join the army
00:09:31.020
uh we be or get even tattoos because they are not capable of making these permanent decisions about
00:09:39.220
these things but yet we're able to do these horrible and they are horrible right horrible things and that
00:09:45.560
have lifelong repercussions and you see um you know the in prager university there's a wonderful film
00:09:51.660
i'll say wonderful but there was a very knowledgeable and um informing film about the d transitioners
00:09:59.600
and it's just it's it's criminal and what it is it's sad and let the child uh you know at least
00:10:06.760
turn 18 before they decide to do something i think 18 also my child my oldest one my daughter she wasn't
00:10:13.060
an adult at 18 either i mean truthfully the brain doesn't stop till 25 right so but i do think at least
00:10:18.560
at a minimum if you have any conscience at all then that there should be um any faith at all
00:10:25.880
then you have wait till they're 18 before they make a decision and and um and and just don't
00:10:32.760
jump on any new fads especially a fad that has uh the the the the real evil of it is this idea that
00:10:40.600
they can be uh you know infertile and and just destroy themselves for life but i think there is a
00:10:47.440
um there is a really an attack on babies there's an attack on girls there's an attack on women this
00:10:54.740
whole thing is a culture of death i mean you look at what's happening with the palestinian uh
00:11:00.400
the rallies where they're openly chanting uh you know death to jews and send them to germany and
00:11:08.500
all of these horrible horrible things this every bit of this evil at us yeah is culture of death
00:11:16.220
it is a cultural it is a culture of death it's a culture it's just i think there's um there's
00:11:23.120
different ways to get at this and like you know my coming to christ was also an illogical sense of
00:11:30.000
i do think um you have the atheists now who have it's like the opposite of the snopes trial
00:11:36.760
the snopes trial which which cornered in the snopes trial was in the 1920s um which was about
00:11:44.000
christianity and evolution and the the idea that christianity was was trying to um
00:11:51.440
close in and close in and limit the idea of god's plan uh of uh which could have been evolutionary in
00:12:00.320
part for sure um was was was basically putting uh a fanatic spin on uh christianity and faith
00:12:10.160
what you have now is the opposite of the snopes trial you have a fanaticism coming from the atheists
00:12:18.120
coming from godless people and and that are um not wanting to see the potentiality of god
00:12:25.040
and the potentiality of what they're doing could be wrong and just the real real exposing this is
00:12:33.040
seeing the lbgtq community who are supporting hamas and palestinians and it's like somebody's got a
00:12:40.760
whisper in their ear hey they would kill you in a minute it was stowing you to death these these are
00:12:47.040
not people these are murderers you have to call them what they are and what it really the sad thing
00:12:52.660
about the pro-palestinian things you see on campus and you see it's like they you know when they say do
00:12:58.620
not forget never forget the holocaust it's because it it is something that can be forgotten
00:13:06.440
and it is being forgotten because it's the the very few of remaining holocaust uh survivors who
00:13:15.260
are children now very young children now you makes you realize a terrible thing glenn which is that the
00:13:22.080
the idea that the holocaust could have been you know well that's an end to this horrible anti-semitism
00:13:28.880
you realize that it isn't that it's just nope there's going to be a continual it was an apex
00:13:33.720
anti-semitism that there is not that there is going to be a continuation of pogroms and an attack
00:13:41.500
on these people and uh on our on these on this people because it is it is a continuation of
00:13:51.340
anti-semitism it is certainly not anyone near the end of it and and for people who um war is hell
00:13:59.440
and war is hell and and the idea that um somehow there's a clean more or there's a way to do it
00:14:05.700
i mean the death of of of of children in any situation is is abhorrent and horrible and the
00:14:12.300
uh and you try to prevent it the best you can but if i remember thinking of robert mcnamara
00:14:17.620
who was um working with uh the air force during world war ii they were talking about the fire
00:14:24.360
bombing of japanese cities and which was you know horrific something that horrific absolutely
00:14:31.980
horrific dresden was absolutely horrific maybe that more people died in dresden than nagasaki
00:14:37.960
and hiroshima combined the bombing of dresden um in in world war ii towards the end of uh
00:14:44.420
but to bring germany to its knees to end that war was a was a was a greater good and it's all
00:14:52.280
horrible but the idea that hamas is going to be allowed to survive in any form now for for our
00:14:58.740
questioning of it is um what is going to replace it you know that that's that's the question but
00:15:06.700
you have to we can't sit back and allow your people to be slaughtered no your babies you can't
00:15:13.140
and so we have to stand with israel and we have to know that this is something that it's it's um
00:15:18.840
it's not going to be easy and that there's there's going to be i mean it's going to require prayer it's
00:15:23.460
going to require god's help it's going to require our help but we have to be there for that and not
00:15:28.600
give in to uh this um hamas uh publicity campaign which they're very good at we're talking to uh rob
00:15:36.440
schneider he's actor comedian uh writer and he's just written a piece for uh the blaze.com
00:15:42.900
the gift of turning 60 where he talks about this and so much more uh and you can find that on the
00:15:49.920
front page of the blaze rob great talking to you thank you so much always thank you for your time
00:15:55.440
but thank you for your faith you bet god godspeed this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't
00:16:00.440
forget rate us on itunes let's let's continue our conversation on the covenant which is coming on
00:16:06.540
thursday and i pose this question at first why does everybody hate the jews scientists have
00:16:13.320
actually looked at this experts and historians this is really good question yeah why does everybody
00:16:18.140
seem to hate the jews uh one first they came up with five reasons one jews are hated because they're
00:16:25.100
an inferior race except jewishness is not a race any person any creed or color can convert to judaism
00:16:32.440
okay i convert to be a jew they would kill me just as fast okay next one economic jews are hated
00:16:42.660
because they possess too much wealth and power well okay there are some well-off jews uh but there are
00:16:48.700
millions of poor and downtrodden jews as well so jews are people too isn't it kind of weird like that
00:16:55.900
jews are hated because they're different from everyone else's answer number three they're outsiders
00:17:01.820
well jewish communities often tried to assimilate in the 18th century in europe they tried desperately
00:17:08.700
to assimilate how'd that work out for them scapegoat answer number four the jews are hated because
00:17:16.820
they're the cause for all the world's problems they've been hated because they're an easy target
00:17:22.260
okay d aside the jews are hated because they killed jesus christ i just like to point out i'm pretty
00:17:31.460
sure that were those were the romans that killed jesus they were the ones so i asked the question
00:17:38.800
again why do people hate the jews and why is america second in line notice that we're the great satan
00:17:51.480
why i think there's really one reason the jewish people know who they are they're the children of
00:18:01.100
israel they are from the promised land they are god's chosen people who says they're chosen people
00:18:08.800
that's not that's not right everybody's searching for answers searching for the truth jews have
00:18:18.060
something unique they have an eternal identity that has been spoken and it's an identity that is built
00:18:26.960
built on traditions laws promise faith in god a covenant a rock of a covenant and the jewish people
00:18:36.080
work hard at studying and teaching that covenant they've handed down the traditions and blessings from
00:18:42.540
one generation to another for thousands of years they are very clear who they are
00:18:49.120
now just that alone holding on to who you are passing on customs and traditions and conventions
00:19:02.160
that makes you a little peculiar in today's we're not doing it they are and their covenant gives them a
00:19:11.200
relationship with god and with one another it binds them it lifts them up you know the attitude in
00:19:18.160
israel is extraordinarily positive right now i have heard that people have told me in israel that
00:19:25.880
everybody's very optimistic they're all like we're going to win this and we're going to solve this
00:19:30.800
problem and they're not cowering in fear where do they get that the covenant of god gives them
00:19:38.820
confidence that they're going to be blessed if they do what they're supposed to do in a world where
00:19:45.160
the foundations of truth and reality are being destroyed and being distorted that kind of confidence
00:19:53.500
lends itself to envy and as yoda warned us envy leads to jealousy jealousy leads to hate hate leads to
00:20:04.880
anger and anger leads to the dark side or something like that like suffering or shut up
00:20:15.200
we are suffering today are we not and it's because we're not grateful it's because we forgot who we are
00:20:31.000
it leads to riots abuse and kidnappings it's led us to war and over and over again it has led to mass
00:20:40.700
genocide you see i think why the jews are so hated is it's satan's way of winning against god
00:20:49.160
this is this is the scriptures according to glenn so take it for what it's worth
00:20:54.420
god made the covenant god did i'll be your god you will be my people you will grow in size
00:21:03.960
all satan has to do to beat god is to kill god's chosen people that forces if i kill all of his
00:21:15.420
people then he's no longer god because he said he would protect them
00:21:21.500
and if we're looking away for a way out of our situation the surest way is to follow the example
00:21:30.040
of the jew remember who you are remember too that we're number two we're the great satan we're next
00:21:41.340
and that's because we too are a covenant people you notice it's not great britain that they're saying is a
00:21:47.700
great satan it's us it's us because we when the pilgrims set foot in america they step forward
00:21:54.860
not only on the rock at plymouth but on the rock of the covenant comparisons are made all the time
00:22:01.980
between the jews and the pilgrims and the pilgrims were also reviled they were persecuted they were
00:22:07.440
led to a land of promise and like the jews the pilgrims built on traditions laws and faith in god
00:22:14.100
the pilgrims worked hard they didn't blame others they studied they sought and taught the covenant
00:22:21.040
they handed down promises and blessings from one generation to the next they forged a nation
00:22:27.280
built on a relationship with god but we when we get to next week and we're celebrating thanksgiving
00:22:34.440
how many of us are thinking about any of those things any of them we've abandoned our promises
00:22:40.540
we've cast aside our blessings we've given up on our relationship with god
00:22:45.420
but let thursday change this because we can pick up the mantle of our national covenant again
00:22:53.080
and the pilgrims made their covenant with us i i tell you with us not some generic us but us
00:23:07.100
they're nearing the first thanksgiving they had so many trials
00:23:13.000
only half of their company is left half died on the way over then the other half the half of the
00:23:21.540
other half died in the first winter william brewster is one of the survivors and he said for some divine
00:23:27.220
purpose we yet remain it is our master's will that we stand or fall here and in our harvest trials
00:23:35.120
has not the divine presence been with us wherefore let us stand we believe this movement to be from him
00:23:42.900
if he prosper us we shall be the means of planting here a christian colony and of ending hence its precious
00:23:51.120
blessing blessed blessed it will be for us blessed for this land for this vast continent generations to come
00:24:00.680
shall look back to this hour and find these scenes of agonizing trial
00:24:31.180
and the responsibilities that have come with this covenant
00:38:00.540
